I built that version with GCC 4.7.2 from mingw.org, and didn't get the

That part is clear from the error message.  What is less clear is why
does that happen.  'restrict' is a keyword in C, so unless the

missing something here.

If you type this:

  cpp -dM < nul | fgrep restrict

what do you see?
